Chapter 42: The Decay Begins
Three days later.
Early morning.
After recuperation, Kumi can finally get out of bed.
Although the body has passed the weak period, it is still not possible to exercise too much.
For some reason, she always felt that something was wrong with her body.
I feel that after this coma, my physique has dropped a lot, and I can't even clench my fists.
But so what, it's better than staying in bed all the time.
"So what am I going to do next?" Kumi sat in front of the dresser with a happy face, facing the mirror, combing her long hair.
Looking at himself in the mirror, a vague figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
It should be some kind of youth.
Kumi froze at the moment.
She felt that she should be familiar with this figure.
However, I tried to recall, but I didn't have a single impression.
At this moment, she felt an inexplicable sadness.
It was as if I had lost someone very important, and tears flowed instantly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Kumi, it's me! Can I come in? ”
It is the voice of Oki Jida.
Kumi came back to her senses and hurriedly wiped the tears on her face: "Wait a minute, I'm getting dressed." ”
"Oh... All right! When you get dressed, remember to say it. ”
Slightly.
Kumi looked in the mirror and saw that her eyes were not red and there were no tears on her face, so she opened the door of her room.
"Kumi, oh hayo!" Oki Jida smiled.
"Oh ha!" Kumi also replied.
"This is freshly boiled blood and qi nourishing porridge, eat it while it's hot! There's going to be a big guy who wants to see you later. Okita said.
"Big shots? What big shots? Kumi was stunned for a moment, a little curious.
Zhitian Damu sold Guanzi and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's a big shot, you'll know when you meet." ”
With that, Jida Oki brought the porridge into Kumi's room.
……
Ten minutes later.
Kumi came to the hall alone and full of curiosity.
In the hall, there are three people.
Jida Yakazu stood aside respectfully.
Beside him, sat a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes.
This person is none other than Takashisuke.
However, he is very different from three days ago.
Just look at the appearance, and you can't see anything unusual.
But judging from the complexion and aura, they are much older than a few days ago.
Especially the spirit.
It used to be a raging fire, but now it may be just a few piles of firewood.
Of course, Takashi himself is aware of this change in himself.
But I couldn't find the reason.
The only explanation is that a few days ago, when suppressing the power of the one tail awakened by Jiumi, the mana was consumed too much and the source was damaged.
Perhaps, just rest for a few days!
When he saw Kumi coming in, he ordered Chikako behind him to close the door.
"Introduce yourself." Takashisuke looked at Kumi, "My name is Takashisuke, and I'm from the Kyoto Jida family.
Jida Ichimai in Edogawa Ward is a branch of my Kyoto family.
You have the blood of my Zhitian family, and according to the blood relationship, you should also be one of the members of my Zhitian family. ”
After hearing this, Kumi glanced at Jida Yawazu, and Nuo Nuo said, "Uncle, are they here to recognize their relatives?" ”
When Zhitian Yawa heard this, his face suddenly turned blue.
He turned sideways and said respectfully to Takashi Suke: "My lord, Jiumi has little experience, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as her." ”
Ryu Zhisuke nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not so stingy yet." ”
Looking at Yakazu Jida groveling in front of Takashisuke, Kumi felt very unhappy in her heart.
Isn't it this family, what's the big deal?
We didn't eat them, and we didn't live with them, so why should we please them?
Uncle Zai and Uncle are too spineless.
"Kumi Edogawa!" Takashi suddenly shouted.
Kumi didn't respond, and directly scolded back with a hateful gaze.
Ryujisuke smiled lightly, then his face sank, and he said very strongly: "Edogawa Kumi." From today onwards, you will learn Yin-Yang Dao with me. ”
"Huh?" Kumi was stunned, and her forehead burst into several greetings.
She thought she had misheard.
In her heart, she didn't like Long Zhisuke very much.
"Why?" Kumi said unpleasantly.
"You have the blood of my Zhitian family in you." Ryujisuke replied solemnly.
When the words fell, Kumi set her eyes on Zaiwa Jida.
Jida Yakazu nodded and said softly, "Kumi, you can't be willful now.
You were able to wake up this time, thanks to Lord Takashisuke.
If it weren't for Takashisuke-sama to come to the rescue, you wouldn't be standing here. ”
Hearing this, Kumi said she was surprised.
She looked at Long Zhisuke and asked uncertainly, "You saved me?" ”
Ryujisuke smiled confidently, "Can you try to recall?" ”
At the moment, Kumi fell into deep thought, trying to remember what had happened the other day.
Soon, sporadic images appeared in my mind.
It seems that Cousin Oki accompanied him to Shinjuku to play, and then met the leader of the youkai.
Then I saw a blurred figure, saving myself.
It seems that the vague figure is wearing a suit and glasses, and he has a bit of imagination with Ryujisuke.
Could it be that he really saved himself?
After a few minutes, Kumi covered her heavy head and looked at Takashi Shisuke carefully.
Although there is still some resistance to him in my heart, the memories in my mind will not deceive.
Probably, it was really he who saved himself.
After a moment's hesitation, she finally agreed.
When Takashi heard this, he laughed.
Because I was too excited, I coughed a few times.
The last few hits were particularly big.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Ryushosuke smiled and covered his mouth.
When he let go of his hand, there was a pool of blood foam in his palm.
When Takashi saw it, his face turned pale instantly, and a piece of sweat broke out on his back.
Chikako, who was guarding the gate, noticed Takashisuke's abnormality.
She immediately walked over.
Seeing this, Takashi naturally inserted his blood-stained hand into his trouser pocket and stood up.
"Your Excellency, your face?" Chikako worried.
Takashi pretended not to hear.
He knew that he must not let her know his physical condition.
Otherwise, the efforts I have made in the past few days will be in vain.
He walked to the door and said in a deep voice, "Kumi, you come with me." ”
Kumi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately followed.
……
Night.
Ryujisuke sat cross-legged and meditated.
However, he was in very poor physical condition.
He kept his eyebrows twisted, his lips were not bloody, and his body was covered in sweat.
A few minutes later.
Just listen to the pop.
A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
In an instant, his demeanor was a little older again.
The jet-black hair on his head turned white in an instant.
He felt like he was being squeezed dry.
But definitely not kidney deficiency.
"Alas! It's getting worse. ”
Ryushisuke struggled to his feet and walked to the mirror.
He saw himself in the mirror and felt very strange.
Where does this look like a man in his thirties?
Macular spots, wrinkles, rough skin... and other features of the elderly, showing their faces.
He couldn't believe he could be like this.
Backlash? Is it possible?
On the first day, all the nails fell off, accompanied by profuse sweat.
The next day, all the teeth fell out and the hair began to turn white.
On the third day, there was a frequent cough accompanied by foam.
This is the fourth day, and the skin and body begin to age.
So, what will the fifth day look like?
His instincts told him that he might die on the fifth day.
will say goodbye to this world.
"Farewell?" Ryu's body stiffened, as if struck by lightning.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
The abnormalities in his body began to occur only after meeting him.
